Blank papers or newspapers torn-patched up on canvas. Handwritten word “Valdiz” (nickname for Val d’Isère) is thrown on this patchwork of material, written again and again until saturation, scattered, pasted here and there according to the drawing. The words sculpt the canvas, reliefs, shadows and lights appear, painting crystallizes, Valdiz takes flight. I finalized the painting with pencils and inks. (20in x 20in)
